Lyrics

Grandpappy used to tell me son you'd better think
don't ever lose your self respect
and don't ever take a drink
I listened to grandpappy's words and that's how it ought to be
the little woman at home don't see it that way
and said goodbye to me

Chorus
And I'm a sittin' on a bar stool trying not to think
losing all my self respect drink after drink
It's little hard to lose more than half of what you gained
and the whiskey won't bring her back but it helps kill the pain

Instrumental

I know i just can't sit here and waste my life away
and I know that I'll get over her and tommorrow's another day
and If I could hear grandpappy's words I'd walk right out that door
But there' not doubt there all drowned out
Jack Daniel's has got the floor.

Chorus
And I'm a sittin' on a bar stool trying not to think
losing all my self respect drink after drink
I've got nothing left to lose I'm not interested in gain
and the whiskey won't bring her back but it helps kill the pain
tag
I've got nothing left to lose I'm not interested in gain
and the whiskey won't bring her back but it helps kill the pain
